Ive been using that "Belmar Slide rig" for tog for years now....I use two 2/0gamakatsu hooks to get it done....and another tip....The slider hooks get pointed the same way down the leader as the snelled hook.
Time to start tying some more rigs and check the lead supply.
Rigs and lead is the order of the day when it comes to Tog fishin.
Here Scott...tied one up with bigger hooks to show it better...tie your proper snell to bottom hook as normal....then slide 2nd hook down leader going thru bottom of hook eye. Then tie your leader loop closed on other end as normal. I attach this leader about 5 inches above the sinker
It is possible to stick both hooks into 1 crab....however I usually bait each hook seperate with the smallest whole crabs I can find.....legs off, shell on and crushed a tiny bit with the sinker.
